Hey, guys! I regret to inform you that this is the last update for this game.
In other words, I have decided to cancel TQfEL2, and any further installments in the TQfEL series.
“Why?”, you may ask?
Well, for starters, I planned this game to be too massive for the Scratch engine to handle. Scratch’s game creation software began to lag, and not run properly when I was only about ¾ into programming Iceland.
I was lucky to get Iceland done, but by the time I got to programming England, Scratch had given up. New glitches were popping up faster than I could fix them, and before I knew it, the game was barely playable.
Here’s what England would have looked like, had I managed to get it working:
Secondly, I programmed Iceland without even thinking of the other countries.
Therefore, England would have taken a very long time to integrate into the game’s programming, and even if I had managed to do that, there would also be France.
Thirdly, I lost interest in TQfEL.
This game became too boring to make. The story seemed pointless, and I didn’t really think that this was worth pursuing anymore.
Once I released the demo, I felt like I was done with this game. I also planned ahead, and I eventually became more interested in my possible future installments than I was about this game.
If you were wondering, I was going to make TQfEL3, and was going to call it “The Quest for Endless Life III: Alchemical Origin”. I also planned for it to be split up into three “parts”. After that, I wanted to make “The Quest for Endless Life IV: Your Story” which would be a sort of DIY TQfEL game.
Needless to say, I didn’t want to make TQfEL2 anymore. And I eventually decided to cancel the series as well.
Don’t worry, though. This doesn’t mean that I will stop making games. Game development is one of my favorite hobbies, and I will not stop now.
Honestly though, I had fun with this game, and it taught me a lot that I didn’t know about game development.
And for those of you who did like this game, I will probably begin development on a new game soon. Stay tuned!
Thank you for reading,
Superben100!
